SCROLL DOWN for JAY's BIO -
I was born in St. Louis and grew up here, Minneapolis and San Jose, California...a multi-city childhood that prepared me well for the rock band-style, gypsy touring life that is a career in radio.
It's been a blast seeing America by working and living in all quadrants of the USA - I've been to 46 of our states and seen a lot of our amazing country, living and working in places like San Jose/San Francisco, Minneapolis, Seattle, Milwaukee, Norfolk/Virginia Beach, Springfield, IL, Dallas and Charleston, SC. I previously worked in St. Louis radio from 1995-97 when KSD was classic rock - (I think they play Polkas of the Antarctic now).
I came back to StL for good in 2006 to take care of family matters and have been with THE ARCH since June of 2007. It is the most perfect music station I have ever worked for, allowing me to indulge my rawk side as much as my love for pop music. It's my passion to bring all kinds of music to you and to dig around for the fun facts and stories behind the tunes and the people who make them.
I'm really lucky to be on TEAM ARCH, and I really appreciate that YOU listen. Thanks!

I noticed that on Friday night, Christy played a DEPECHE MODE song for School Of Rock, and I remembered that the band’s name is French for “fast fashion’. So I thought another language lesson might be in order for tonight - and why not some German? After all, St. Louis has a rich German heritage, and songs in German have done pretty on the American pop charts. For instance, the German version of Nena’s “99 Luftballoons” did better on the charts than “99 Red Balloons” sung in English. The Beatles recorded several of their early hits in German due to their constant touring there in the early years. So tonight’s language lesson on School of Rock is Peter Gabriel’s Shock The Monkey in German from his "Deutches" album...it's called SHOCK DEN AFFEN.
